Western Bulldogs vs Geelong Cats Preview
The unbeaten Cats head back to Adelaide on a short turnaround after pulling off a 36-point win over Hawthorn on Easter Monday.
It was touch and go in parts, but after prevailing over the Crows in impressive fashion on this ground only one week earlier, its a little surprising to find almost even money on offer in the market.
The Dogs, meanwhile, thrashed West Coast in a win that saw them rack up 421 disposals well clear of the league average.
It was an encouraging display of ball movement and poise in front of goal, but one could also argue the Eagles may have kept it closer with the Dogs coughing up numerous chances in their defensive half.
Similar errors will certainly be punished by this polished Geelong outfit, one that has made a habit of starting games fast in the first quarter.
Through three games, the Cats have scored 97 points and conceded only 38 a recipe for success that could see the Dogs on the back foot early if they struggle to play aggressively early on.
